Detailed drawing

During our May 2018 LHPC field trip, we were lucky to watch the entire process in which Denny created a memorial for a musician who had recently passed away.

​

First thing in the morning, about 8 workers drew pathways and patterns in the sand using rakes and sticks. After a few hours, the labyrinth was completed and dozens of people walked the pathway in reverence to their friend who had passed away. Later, the high tide washed the beautiful Circles in the Sand away and created a new canvas.

The following are a few pictures Dorothe and I took at the labyrinth on Bandon beach.
